On Friday I was lucky enough to spend the day on the stunning Tiritiri Matangi Island, along with fellow STLP participants Emma and Leanne. A special focus of my visit was to look at the hihi monitoring and care that takes place there as Lake Rotokare hopes to translocate hihi from Tiri in the near future. Here are a selection of photos from our day.

Mrs Derbyshire @ Auroa School

I am a teacher at Auroa School in South Taranaki, New Zealand. I am currently on a sabbatical as part of the Science Teaching Leadership Programme. This programme is administered through the Royal Society of NZ, and funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. For the first 6 months of 2016 I will be based at Rotokare Scenic Reserve, learning about Science in the real world, whilst doing lots of training about teaching science. I'm looking forward to returning to school to work with the other teachers to make our science programme even better than it already is.

About Room 8

We are a year 0-2 class at Auroa School in South Taranaki, on the West Coast of New Zealand. Our school is surrounded by farmland, but we are not far from the beach either. We love technology at our school, and we use iPads and Macs and Apple Tv to enhance our learning. We have 2 teachers in our class. This is Miss Nicholas' blog. Please leave a comment, we love to see who has visited.
